Introduction ‘This European Standard deals with the classification of spheroidal graphite cast iron in accordance with the mechanical properties of the material ‘The properties of spheroidal graphite cast iron depend on its structure. ‘The mechanical properties of the material can be evaluated on machined test pieces prepared from ~~ separately cast samples; = samples cast onto either the casting or the running system (referred to below as ‘cast-on samples’) — samples cut from a casting (subject to agreement between manufacturer and purchaser). ‘The grade of the material is defined on the basis of the mechanical properties measured on machined test pieces prepared from separately cast samples. It hardness is a requirement of the purchaser as being important for the application, then Annex A provides means for its determination. Further technical data on spheroidal graphite cast iron are given in Annex B. ‘Spheroidal graphite cast iron can be used for pressure equipment, €g fr — compressor housings — industrial valves (bodies, bonnets, covers), check valves, building valves, diaphragm valves, pressure relief valves, valves for chemical and petrochemical process industries; — shell boilers. ‘The suitable material grades for pressure applications and the conditions for their use are given in specific product or application standards. For the design of pressure equipment, specific design rules apply, iy VERMELHO Page 4 EN 1569:1997 + A1:2002 + A2:2005 1 Scope ‘This European Standard defines the grades and the corresponding requirements of spheroidal graphite cast ‘This European Standard classifies cast iron based on mechanical properties measured on machined test pieces prepared from: = separately cast samples; = cast-on samples; = samples cut from a casting. ‘This standard also classities cast iron as a function of hardness. This standard does not include technical delivery conditions for spheroidal graphite iron castings (see EN 1859-1 and EN 1559-3).

The preferred test piece diameter is {4 mim, but, for technical reasons and for test pieces machined from castings, itis permitted to use @ test piece JP aitterent diameter (see figure 4). In either case the original gauge length of the test piece shall conform to the formula: Ip = 865xy5, = Sxd where: Tp is the original gauge length; 5, is the original cross-section area of the test piece; 4 is the diameter of the test piece along the gauge length. If the above formula for Ly is not applicable. then an agreement shall be made between the manufacturer and the purchaser on the dimensions of the test piece. 9.2 Impact test The impact test shall be carried out on three Charpy impact test pieces tse figure 6) in accordance with EN 10045-1 using test equipment with available energy compatible with the properties of the spheroidal ‘graphite cast iron being tested. 9.3 Hardness test When agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the hardness shall be determined as Brinell hardness in accordance with EN 10003-1. Other hardness tests may also be agreed. ‘The test shall be corried out on the test pieces or at one or several points on the castings after preparation of the testing area in accordance with the agreement made by the manufacturer and the purchaser. If the measuring points are not the subject of an agreement, they shall be chosen by the manufacturer. Further information on hardness. given in annex A. 10 Retests 10.1 Need for retests Retesting shall be carried out if a test is not valid. A test is not valid if there is: aa faulty mounting of the test piece or defective operation of the test machine; bi a defective test piece because of incorrect pouring or incorrect machining: c)@ fracture of the tensile test piace outside the gauge length; ear] CONTAOLADA ALO 4d) a casting defect in the test piece, evident after fracture. vit In all cases, anew test piece shall be taken from the same sample of a duplicate sample cast at the same time, The result of the retest shall be used. Page 13 EN 1563:1997 + A1:2002 + A2:2005 10.2. Procedure for retosts If any test gives results which do not conform to the specified requirements, for reasons other than those given in 10.1, two retests shall be carried out for each failed test ‘The castingis) represented by the test shall be regarded as conforming to the specified requirements if both of the retests give satisfactory results as indicated in 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. However, the castings represented by the retests shall be regarded as non-conforming to this standard if the retests are valid but one of the results does not satisty the specified property. Unless otherwise specified, in the case of castings in the as-cast conditions which have non conforming properties, a heat treatment can be carried out. In the case of castings which have undergone a heat treatment and for which the test results are not valid, the manufacturer shall be petmitted to re-heat-treat the castings and the representative samples. In this event, the samples shall receive the same number of heat treatments as the castings. If the results of the tests carried out on the test pieces machined from the re-heat-reated samples are ‘satisfactory, then the re-heat-treated castings shall be regarded as conforming to the specified requirements or to this standard. ‘The number of re-heat treatment cycles shall not exceed two. 11 Inspection documentation When ordering material for pressure equipment applications, the equipment manufacturer has the obligation to request appropriate inspection documentation according 10 EN 10204 affirming conformity to the specifica- tion for the material contained in this standard. For other applications, when requested by the purchaser and agreed with the manufacturer, the manufacturer shall issue for the products the appropriate inspection document in accordance with EN 10204.
